1.1 All applications received by the Municipality for minor variance are scheduled for
a hearing within 30 days of being received by the Secretary-Treasurer. The
purpose of the minor variance applications and the Committee's decisions are
detailed in Attachment 1. The decisions of the Committee are summarized
below.
DECISION OF COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT FOR
JANUARY 20, 2011
1.2 Application A2010-0042 was filed to permit an increase in maximum number of
individual business establishments with a total floor area less than 300 mZ but
greater than 100 m2 from three (3) to six (li), on the subject lands currently
owned by Smart!Centres. The applicant informed the Committee that they are
having difficulty securing a lease with a business for a larger unit within the
building, however they have three (3) small businesses which are interested in
leasing space if the applicant accommodates a smaller leasing unit.
The intent of .the Zoning By-law provision is to limit small-format businesses,
similar to those that would otherwise establish within the downtown, in a manner
that would help to sustain the health and vitality of downtown Bowmanville.
However, it is not the intent of the zone provisions to prohibit small-format
development outside the downtown. Rather, the goal is to ensure that conditions
are maintained which encourage new, small-format businesses to consider the
downtown as a viable location for their business.
Although the decision was not unanimous, the Committee concurred with Staffs
recommendations and approved the application.
1.3 Application A2011-0001 was filed to permit the construction of a single detached
dwelling by increasing the maximum permitted lot coverage from 40% to 45%.
The application was filed by the applicant following a request made by a potential
purchaser to construct a bungalow model of home on a lot which was designed
to be slightly narrower than other lots, due to an adjacent protected feature
(woodlot/valley), and therefore has less lot area to accommodate a larger
dwelling footprint.
At the meeting, the applicant made mention of an attached deck which was
planned for the rear yard but was not shown on the original plan. The Committee
REPORT NO.: PSD-013-11

suggested the applicant table the application until the next meeting, so as to
reconsider their proposal. The applicant agreed, and the application was tabled.
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Staff reviewed the Committee's decision for application A2010-0042 and are
satisfied that it is in conformity with both Official Plan policies, consistent with the
intent of the Zoning By-law, is minor in nature and desirable.
2.2 Council's concurrence with the decision of the Committee of Adjustment for
applications A2010-0042 and A2011-0001 is required in order to afford Staff
official status before the Ontario Municipal Board in the event of an appeal of any
decision of the Committee of Adjustment.
